Moving to a new country is like stepping into a whole new world. The process can feel overwhelming, especially when you're faced with the unknown. From adjusting to a new job to adapting to a different environment, it's a lot to take in. 

Where to start, what information to trust, what to expect and what to do or not to do are all legitimate questions. Based on over 10 years of experience of our customers and our own adventures abroad, science and knowledge about intercultural subjects we have developed a complete package that helps you get through this journey in a comprehensive and pleasant way.

So you can become the happy and successful person you would like to be living and working in the Netherlands. 

Thrive in The Netherlands

Feeling unsure and dependent, overwhelmed by everything coming your way that you often don't understand, at work you sometimes feel like an outsider because you can't grasp what's going on, leaving you with a lack of control and feeling like a passenger on a rollercoaster. Rest assured, many expats relate to this feeling. We understand how you're feeling, and there is a way out. With Your move to The Netherlands, you have a guide that navigates you through all four areas towards independence, connection, and taking control. In your own time and tailored to your needs. So that you can truly be happy and successful in your work and life in the Netherlands.

Are you still in your homecountry?

Then this is for you. A complete pre-arrival course that guides you through all themes that matter: Since we find it very important that you feel at home in The Netherlands when you arrive, we give you a 6 month complimentary membership to our community .

Is it not possible to benefit from this package when you already live in The Netherlands? Yes it is, but you benefit the most if you take this course before you move. Simply because you can be effective from day 1.

Are you already in the Netherlands?

Of course you can also sign up for the complete pre-arrival course if you already live in the Netherlands.

The best moment is before you arrive though. The practical stuff about living in this country you have probably already found out, probably the hard way. 

Maybe you would like to focus on a specific area, need practical support or would like to become a member of My Dutch Homebase Community.

Will you let me be your guide?

Although I had travelled a lot in my life, I discovered living and working in a foreign country is very different from being on holiday for some time. I had to find out the hard way when I moved with my family to Hungary. We were fortunate that we met a very friendly Hungarian woman, she is called Andy, who helped us with al kinds of administrative and bureaucratic work. She explained to us why certain things were done in a certain way. Andy also introduced us to the right suppliers and businesspartners and helped us feel welcome. I believe everybody deserves to have an “Andy” who guides them on the journey abroad. That is why I founded 'Your Move to The Netherlands' when we returned home, so expats who are coming to my homecountry get the support that really helps them to be happy and successful.
